GC_YVR:
I can't use the Safe Mode Command Prompt. I can only use the menu Safe Mode startup, which gives me the out of disk space on my Mac message. Pressing F8 only causes iTunes to open on my Mac. My pvm package is 45GB. My virtual drive is 32GB. I've gone to Configure -> Hardware -> Hard Disk 1 and tried several of the existing drives that I've used in the past. None of them will let me get past error messages. I haven't tried to change the disk size for fear that would just make things worse.
Having said all of that. After entering TM and going back almost a year I was able to get my .pvm backup to Restore without any permission problems. After it restored, I double-clicked on it, it opened, Parallels launched and everything seems to be working fine. Of course a years worth of 'stuff' is gone. I'm left wondering what would have changed that made all my pvm files from that time forward have permission problems. And, more importantly, will I have permission problems from here out? TM backs up every night so tomorrow I will have a new pvm backup to answer that question.
UPDATE:
TM backed up last night and so this morning I entered TM and told it to restore last night's back up. It's copied with no permission problems and is running fine. So what this means is that for some reason a years worth of my pvm backups have permission problems. I am at a loss as to what could have happened to cause this. Any thoughts?
